Google has hinted that it could allow its users to decide which sweet treat the final version of its upcoming Android N is named after.

It's possible the remark was made in jest as Pichai was responding to a question from the audience about why Google is yet to name an operating system after an Indian dessert, but there may be a grain of truth in there.

If we were going to place a bet on the matter, we'd put our money on Nectar, Neapolitan or Nougat as the name of Google's next mobile OS.
